Chapter 153: Extreme Danger
“This is the living area. This spaceship was built by the pre-human civilization, designed to accommodate 1 million population for intergalactic combat, colonization, resource plunder, and other purposes.”
Li Jian eventually persuaded the Vulcan Brigade team members to go into hibernation. At this moment, he was following behind Fan Ren, listening to Primal’s introduction about this spaceship in his ears, and was secretly shocked in his heart.
A spaceship carrying a million population, wantonly plundering and colonizing across various star systems.
It seems the universe is not as quiet as imagined.
Obviously, the pre-human civilization’s living habits were similar to modern humanity’s. Fan Ren even saw the existence of a bar here.
Continuing forward, Primal explained nonstop like it was showing off, describing the many uses of various locations on the spaceship.
Training area, medical area, living area, work area, education school area, life support system and animal and plant aquaculture area, and so on.
It was completely a human living city flying in space.
Unexpectedly, even for humanity with highly advanced technology level, daily life still couldn’t do without intake of meat, eggs, and grain foods.
However, this also explained why this spaceship was so enormous in size.
“This was once the pinnacle product built by your humanity with countless manpower and resources. What a pity.”
“How so?”
Fan Ren became curious. Up to this point in Primal’s introduction, he could clearly sense the dejection in the other’s tone.
“Ahead is the spaceship chief command room. Please enter.”
Primal did not answer directly.
At this point, most of the spaceship’s areas had been visited by everyone. The only thing left was the central command room behind the door in front of them.
In front of them, a four-to-five-meter-high door slowly opened to both sides as Primal’s words fell.
The scene behind the door immediately made everyone feel as if they were in a sci-fi scene.
Except for a passage on the floor leading straight to a row of cockpits ahead, the entire space seemed to be directly in the universe.
Even as everyone walked through the passage, Mars’ figure below was slowly receding.
“Already in space?”
“Correct. Just sit down. Except for you all, everyone on the Conqueror has entered hibernation pods. In the hibernation pods, all their body’s cells will be completely frozen. Theoretically, before the spaceship’s energy is depleted, as long as the hibernation pod has energy maintenance, they can maintain eternal life state.”
“Primal, can you stop?”
A’dai had followed all the way here, the whole person like a walking corpse. Only now, looking at Mars gradually receding below, did they speak their first sentence.
“Master, sit down. Rest assured. After completing the destruction of human civilization, the 1 million population here is enough to recreate a brand new human civilization. At that time, you will be the emperor of all of them.”
‘Pfft’
Dan Wu couldn’t help but let out a disdainful sneer upon hearing this.
Emperor, this feudal term that only appears in history textbooks, was actually used by this artificial intelligence as a tool to please its ‘master’.
One couldn’t tell whose tragedy it was.
Fan Ren stepped forward and pressed A’dai into the seat. Before they could make any move, the entire seat instantly sealed, and then a transparent liquid surged inside, enveloping A’dai.
“Nano-material buffering nutrient solution. During spaceship warp, it can reduce the gravity endured, and also maintain personnel’s physical strength and mental consumption during long combat times.”
A’dai also came back to their senses and opened their mouth.
“Boss, I’m fine. I can breathe and speak normally.”
Fan Ren nodded, then exchanged a glance with Li Jian and Dan Wu. The three sat down in cockpits.
The cockpit door closed, and instantly, just like with A’dai earlier, a stream of constant-temperature liquid sprayed out from above, enveloping Fan Ren’s entire body in the blink of an eye.
Indeed very miraculous. Breathing or not didn’t matter here; these nano liquids could directly penetrate the body to nourish it.
Fan Ren even felt that their body, which had never been very fit, became much stronger in this instant.
His gaze then looked around. The cockpit became transparent as if it didn’t exist, and he could still see the surrounding universe space.
Really very miraculous.
Unexpectedly, even after developing to this extent, the pre-human civilization still couldn’t avoid destruction.
“Warp engine activated. Distance 200 million kilometers, estimated 10 seconds to arrival.”
Primal’s voice rang in everyone’s minds. Immediately after, everyone suddenly felt a huge thrust pressing them dead against the seat backs.
The thrust was so great that they couldn’t even speak.
Li Jian had this kind of experience. Just from the physical changes, he could judge that this gravity definitely exceeded 20 G.
But at the same time, he was infinitely amazed at the power of this transparent liquid. In normal circumstances, human internal organs would have burst apart.
But now, they merely couldn’t speak.
The 10 seconds passed extremely quickly. Before everyone could react, the huge gravity from before receded like the tide.
Blue Star, outer space, 500 kilometers from the space hub.
The Conqueror’s dark green massive figure appeared out of thin air, like an ancient giant beast, quietly stationary in space.
When the Sky Eye entered Mars, the news had already been transmitted back to Great Xia.
In Fan Ren’s own words when he personally called Elder Ye at the time.
“Extremely dangerous. Please prepare for the highest level alert and defense work.”
No one complained. Under the management of tens of thousands of space force members, ordinary workers on the space hub had all withdrawn to Blue Star.
Now, in the space ahead of the space hub, hundreds of Young Dragon ships were neatly arranged, forming the most powerful fleet in Great Xia’s history.
And at the forefront of the fleet, a Young Dragon with command functions was quietly stationed in space. From the direction it faced, it was now quietly gazing at the steel behemoth in front.
“Very strange. Humanity clearly has the weakest physical body, yet why do they hate us intelligent lives so much? Don’t you know that with the help of us intelligent lives, humanity can have a much more relaxed development environment?”
“Just like now, this Conqueror, under my massive computing power, doesn’t need a single human for any other redundant control.”
Fan Ren gazed at the dense, death-defying Great Xia Space Force ahead.
He knew Primal was probably referring to the pre-human civilization, but he didn’t know much about it.
“Primal, it’s not too late to stop now. You haven’t actually caused any harm to current humanity. And through your efforts, we’ve seen the power of artificial intelligence. In the future, we will definitely take you seriously.”
“Take seriously? From the humans I’ve contacted, I only believe two people when they say that.”
“Oh? I wonder which two have been favored by you.”
Fan Ren became puzzled.
“My master, and a man who was the first in Blue Star Civilization to create the artificial intelligence concept. His name is Huang Wei.”
Fan Ren suddenly understood. Mark had mentioned it to him: the former Nvidia president Huang Wei was also in Utopia City.
